No one?

I think in the successor box the problem will be fixed. Before unfortunately not.

Is there any workaround to play such files?
I mean I have like many many files with this Bug and I really would like to play them....

The bug will probably never be fixed. I think it requires a new chip.

There are no new HiMedia products planned for 2017 and there are no new HiSilicon chipsets for 2017 either.

HiMedia/HiSilicon are committed to fixing this problem.

How crop tests can be offtopic?

How people can understand that problem fixed without testing it?

They are very useful, thanks.

It was the discussion of other hardware, and complaints about stuff other than the HDR aspect ratio problems that were deleted.

Why do some people say it will never be fixed when Kodi on my box gives the correct aspect, also SPMC plays back at the correct aspect along with the correct HDR+ informing my Samsung 4K TV to alter its contrast and backlight settings.Both these media players are installed on the same box along with the Himedia player (the only player not playing back at the correct aspect ratio) and therefore use the same hardware, which suggests to me that it is a software problem, please correct me if my logic is incorrect.

did you check tests from links above?
what version of kodi and spmc you are using?

[manley]

No, I did not try the files you have listed, I only used my own files, The Kodi is the standard one included with the latest firmware  and the SPMC software version is the one downloaded directly using the Playstore in the Pro 10, so nothing special.

So... you can`t tell no problem until you pass this tests.
Did you tv switch to hdr mode?

[manley]

Yes, as I stated in an earlier reply the Samsung correctly switched it's contrast and backlight settings  for HDR playback and there was also an initial flagging up on the screen that an HDR film was about to play, so all correct. Perhaps your examples are at fault, I will check this later when I have downloaded them. Regarding SPMC there is one particular feature I like, it is when you press the menu button on the remote it provides in the top left hand corner all the details of the file like cpu usage, output info, and output stream bitrate(I like this particularly) plus others, excellent. The only real downside for me using SPMC is that I need my Logitech K400 to navigate the menus properly.

Yep.. every file have the aspect is incorrect.. except some nature ones that the aspect was meant to be full screen.
Manley must be special
